I would like to replace the rag joint and shaft flange on a 72 cutlass manual steering with a steel coupler U-joint similar to what Flaming River or Borgeson sells. I need to know the sizes and has anyone done this? If so, what splines and diameters do I need?



Thanks

 

Any of the restoration supply houses have them, Fusicks, OPGI, Yearone.... I have not tried to buy one at an auto parts store in decades, but...

 

I think I would contact an aftermarket column company, ididit, Flaming River, I think they sell the parts to install the columns and will know how to steer you in the direction you should go.. As far as the shaft size, you can measure it with an open end wrench. Keep slipping wrenches over the shaft until one fits snug, and the next size down will not fit.

 

Sorry I misread your post, it was early this morning. Summit, Jegs, or any speed shop.
